Carson City sheriff’s deputy shot and wounded

Wednesday, March 25, 1998 | 1:10 a.m.

The officer was identified as Shannon Whitehead, 28. He was treated at and released from Carson-Tahoe Hospital following the 5:25 a.m. incident.

Chief Deputy Jerry Mather said a search was continuing for the two men. A sawed-off, single-shot, 20-gauge shotgun was left behind when they scaled a wall and fled on foot.

Mather said Whitehead was making a routine check of auto repair shops and car sales lots near the Albertson's supermarket, which had been hit in the past by thieves looking for batteries and car stereos.
